The difference is the legal boundary. Microsoft allows you legally to write your own code and sell it to people to run on their computers without owning Microsoft as a company. Bethesda owns their software, and has legal agreements you agree to when you skip through them when you start up the game, saying you won't mod it or profit off their game. Look at my other comment if you want to actually see where.
"you won’t mod it" this, as you know, is something people have done for decades and ignored.
Once again, you didn't read my comment lmao. You're right. They do ignore it, but they don't ignore it when money is involved. Literally look up cases where companies shut down mods, they usually are financially driven.
Since you're not here to actually have a discussion in good faith, I'm going to go. Take care 👋
I read all your comments. Classic way to leave when someone doesn't agree with you. Ta ta.
Yeah, I was going to give the example of a GPU - something you might buy to play this game. But pretty much everything that goes into the setup and desk that lets you play the video game kinda counts.
